Genetic Testing in Craniofacial Care: Development of Algorithms for Testing Patients with Orofacial Clefting, Branchial Arch Anomalies, and Craniosynostosis.

Objective: To develop consensus-based algorithms for genetic testing in patients with common craniofacial conditions.

Design: An online collaborative consisting of online meetings, independent work, and feedback across groups. A collaborative of genetics and pediatrics providers from three regional craniofacial centers (four institutions).

Society of Family Planning Research Practice Support: Strategies and considerations for addressing race and racism in quantitative family planning studies.

Objectives: Family planning researchers have not critically engaged with topics of race, racism, and associated concepts like ethnicity. This lack of engagement contributes to the reproduction of research that reifies racial hierarchies rather than illuminate and interrupt the processes by which racism affects health. This Research Practice Support paper lays out considerations and best practices for addressing race and racism in quantitative family planning research.

The C2DREAM framework: Investigating the structural mechanisms undergirding racial health inequities.

Racism shapes the distribution of the social determinants of health (SDoH) along racial lines. Racism determines the environments in which people live, the quality of housing, and access to healthcare. Extensive research shows racism in its various forms negatively impacts health status, yet few studies and interventions seriously interrogate the role of racism in impacting health.
